If i were to invest $2,000 I would put all off it into gold or silver. The thing is, especially in the moderns economy, Gold and tangible assists regin supreme. Gold and silver is the best way I see to invest money. Stocks and bonds are typically big money losers, but with gold, if inflation goes up, the gold is going to be worth more and more. Gold through history has been held very high and has always been worth a lot. Investing in gold to me seems like the safest smartest option for the future.
